Thanks Greg for that tip.....after all the trials and errors of trying to get the tone I was wanting I never thought to cut the mid range on my equalizer and amp.....sounds great. Thanks again for this tip.

Marriage duration is inversely proportional the the cost of the wedding. 40 years ago my wife and I got married in my parents' living room in Texas. Our budget for the wedding was $900. We had Deli trays from the supermarket down the street for the reception. Got married in 1957 in my mother-in-law...

I am always searching for better tone, never happy with what I hear, been that way since I started playing in 1952. It is worse now that I've picked up the PSG. I was once told by a very good guitar player that "you will never be happy with "YOUR" tone" I read all the postings I ...
